Only Fools and Horses The Musical - Comic Relief 2019 

Although this is the second greatest comedy series of all time, I think that the greatest comedy series of all time is the young ones

I think people should defo watch it before judging it. It gets better and better as you do. It does also staple that they are character that are different rendition of the original. It's not a bad thing. We also go on an emotional journey as the character's can express themselves more clearly through song and some of them can touch your heart. This is my fav comedy of all time, so I was defo skeptical before going to watch it.

@@wildlifetails I think that the Godfather would be a great west end show.

@@powerchicken-nf8vl I think that the greatest comedy series of all time is Spaced.

Rodney sounds stoke on trent

Boyciye get a move on wayne

Especially only fools mate

👏👏👏👏👏

Very true

Totally agree with you mate

and Only Fools is one of them

Always one

@@jamesarmstrong8260 Just pointing out something any ofah fan should know 🤷‍♂️

@@jamesarmstrong8260 Well he's right pal. Grandad wasn't alive when Cassandra met Rodders. I mean if you care about continuity in homage to the actual stories then you'd understand.

@@crs2385 OFAH really wasn’t a show that cared about continuity. If it did the show would have ended after Mother Nature’s Son with Del, Rodney and Racquel all getting lengthy prison sentences for fraud and discharging poisonous matter into a public water supply.

Absolutely mate,first thing I noticed

Don't know why they bothered to be honest.

agree, nothin like the orginal but i do like the paul whitehouse

Agreed, thought it was embarrassingly poor.

agree... it just feels like a cheap imitation...a classic that should have been left well alone i think.

Del doesn't sound even sound like a cockney. Terrible.

I say it's pretty damm close can't beat the original but it's just trying to use 95% of the original and then tweak 5% to make it work for a musical

Paul eats at the restaurant I work at I often see him and his wife

Theatre is a good night out....

I think the negativity mostly comes from the people who love the original series so much, they just put the nostalgia goggles on and misjudge this, because of how highly they hold the original. I mean, I am a major fan of the original Only Fools and Horses and it can't be topped, it's a classic, but I can't really discredit this show or the actors in it because of that. Again, the original can't be topped nor can any other interpretation come that close to it, the performances from the original actors are unique (therefore making the characters unique) and because of that, they are very hard if not impossible to recreate, but the effort is there. They're not copying them, but they are trying to hold on to the spirit the original had. The same can be said for the performance of the songs. The humor is decent here, you can tell that Jim is genuinely trying to follow in his father's footsteps.

Paul looks and sounds brilliant as uncle Albert and grandad.

It's a musical but it's absolutely dreadful, like a bad holiday camp reenactment, that's why it's getting so much negativity.

@@APRICEPRODUCTION how do you know it's absolutely dreadful, have you been and seen it?

Same 😂

Grandad

He is dead

Shame he died in poole hospital

Paul Whitehouse plays granddad

Incredibly shit

Harry Mcough nah it is actually great

Josh my favourite part was when they done the theme tunes the rest was awful

Not credible, you say? I see.

I agree!

Ok, if you find it funny, why does that mean everyone else has to? However funny you found it, I found it equally as shit. Why is your opinion more valid then mine?

Off by a mile, you plonker.

Dipstick 🙂

What a wolly

Your attempt at his name was also a good effort

@@shtuff8387 Point taken Shitstuff83

Simon Maguire it depends on how much trouble he gets in?

Sounded more like boycie

oooooh Betty!

Yer they could of done better with rodney .

Wouldn't waste my cash 🤣

Did you get your tickets off limpy lionel? And go with your bird June snell

Glad I wasn't the only one that noticed.

@Stay Classy it doesn't have to be exactly like the show, but sticking to the main continuity points would be good for a start.

@Stay Classy other comments on this video have said that this is the o opening segment to the show, so yes, I can tell you otherwise. And yes I am fun at parties. Sorry for expressing an opinion on something that differs from your own. Being a long time fan of a show that's been around for decades, I have preconceptions of how I'd like it to be if I'm to enjoy it. Some of it doesn't seem to conform to that, therefore I don't have to enjoy it. If you enjoy it that's fine but don't jump down my throat for picking up on something that I find to be a fault with it compared to the original series.

@Stay Classy like I said to you, it doesn't have to be exact, yes I'd picked up on the cigarette case story but I could let that slide for the sake of artistic interpretation. Similarly with the back and forth between Rodney and Trigger, which was from the same episode when they're at the council meeting, which also never took place in the market. However grandad and Cassandra never met, so that grandad would be aware of her in this is just the artistic licence going too far in my opinion. Changing settings I can deal with, changing the history I don't like.

@Stay Classy I had to watch it in the first instance to see if I'd like it or not. Why shouldn't I comment if I'm not keen on something? If everyone was here circle jerking each other over it then that would be no fun, would it? Do you prefer living in echo chambers? Anyway I was merely responding to the original commenter, you were the one that took it upon yourself to correct our opinions on this subjective matter. If you don't like our opinions, why are you even commenting on them? It's only an opinion, no need to lose any sleep over it.

I think I read somewhere that John Sullivan decided on David Jason after seeing him in a theatre show when he was actually there to see someone else, so thank God he saw sense haha

Slater is a right b*stard

He pulled the plug himself

@@brianclarke61993 It was actually after he had been put on to David (after everyone else turned it down/ couldn't do it) so he watched some of his stuff. In an episode of open all hours Granville pretends to be a jack the lad in front of the mirror, he had a fake necklace pennant made from a cocoa tin lid and a wide open shirt. Sullivan apparently saw it and knew that was the actor and how he imagined del being. That's from the "making of" DVD anyway, may not be true.

@@fishyc150 no in fact I think your right, my story may not have been true I just read it somewhere, but I think what your saying is correct

You tell them my laaad

😆😆

I had more fun going through chemotherapy

G D JONES did you not enjoy the full show? Did you go on the first night, or did you go after it had been presented a few times. I was told that got better as time went on, certainly on the 5th night that I went anyway it was quite good. I actually thought it was quite well produced to be honest. They certainly wrote some good songs, and I thought the acting was pretty good throughout. The cast were huge, much more than you saw here.

@@RB747domme relax man it was just a joke

G D JONES If that was supposed to reference to Cash and Curry, that last bit was wrong. Tied to the fact that a huge number of people hated the musical, the joke fell flat.

Save your money!

My thoughts exactly. Not sure why I thought it wouldn't ever be like this though, same gags just done badly!

You couldn’t be more wrong. Go and watch it in its proper stage set-up.

Absolute macca, pony

Dreadful timing, they've done a good job of ruining the original jokes. Beyond bad

Found my self reading comments agreeing but your right just a tribute

Exactly

sadly. most of us do, but it is good

NAH BETTAY

Anything that isn't an American remake is fine by me.

Zanzibar Breeze you can buy a dvd box set.

@@akashrathour3441 Unfortunately all current releases of the show, be it DVD, VHS or digital have been heavily edited. Whole scenes are missing from some episodes, lines have been edited out, jokes have been censored, some lines have been cut and haven't been seen/heard by viewers since the original broadcast in the 80s. Licensed music has been replaced with uninspired stock music. Scenes were cut out or chopped down before broadcast to fit a TV timeslot. What OFAH fans want is a full boxset release of every episode, completely uncut as it was originally intended to be broadcast without any timeslot restraints, with no censorship or missing scenes/dialog and original music restored. More info en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Only_Fools_and_Horses_home_video_releases www.ofah.net/blog/only-fools-and-horses-cuts-part-1/

@@akashrathour3441 Furthermore, one episode (Sickness and in Wealth) on one of the DVD releases actually has 9 minutes of extra footage which has never been broadcast even on TV nor is present on any other release. This was apparently released by accident and it was the cut version which they meant to release. This indicates that there might be lots more scenes which were removed before original broadcast that were cut simply to chop down the length of the episodes to fit an arbitrary TV slot, and not for editorial reasons. It would be great if the BBC could release the full episodes with any scenes or lines that were removed for this reason.

Zanzibar, you are right i got rid of my original copies and got a box set. I noticed there were some scenes actually missing like in miami twice. There is a scene when del and rodney chat to the mafia before they break into tbe camper van.

Zanzibar Breeze all of them are available on DVD and Blu-ray. Have been for ages. Where are you not looking?

He sounds more like Dave.

No he really doesn't

Sounds more like Frank Spencer at times.

rkisf90 he was probably the best out of them, that says a lot about the whole thing.

@@yermanoffthetelly 😂😂😂👏👏👏

*singalexsong* It's because his french is still not on point 🤣

You need to see an optician. These are atrocious!

Stuart Smith they did use a script, written by Richard Sullivan. It was rewritten for the theatre, however it was based on his ideas. Because he always wanted to do a theatre and Tour show. So they made the stage show to honour him. Did you not enjoy any of the rest of the production? I thought the songs were quite well written, and the cast were amazing, but there you go.

fonly fools was filmed in bristol well some nit all obviously ... i believe the flats were in bristol too haha

@@Dam0n11 the flats were down in Ashton next to the city ground I believe I live in Bristol

@@Dam0n11 Was it?! No way lol x

It's still funny but I still love the original trigger best

100% Agree with you! The first 5/10 minutes of the show I wasn't overly impressed by! but from about 15 mins into it It really gets going!

Thank god for covid 19 then

Grandad and Albert are the same actor. Paul Whitehouse. I think hes the director or something also. Great character actor.

You’d need a bloody compass to find up west

That's exactly how it comes across! :)

Yep

True a performance like this should be confined to community centres

Lol! Yes. It's pathetic

Couldn't have put it better myself!!

I'm hammered

How was it 😊

@@francesshead6525 it was good worth seeing

Cracked ice actually! XD

Yeah from a mush in shepherd s bush bush bush
